In # particular, it shows how you can take a list of images from the command # line and display each on the screen with red boxes overlaid on each human # face. # # The examples/faces folder contains some jpg images of people. You can run # this program on them and see the detections by executing the # following command: # ./face_detector.py ../examples/faces/*.jpg # # This face detector is made using the now classic Histogram of Oriented # Gradients (HOG) feature combined with a linear classifier, an image # pyramid, and sliding window detection scheme. This type of object detector # is fairly general and capable of detecting many types of semi-rigid objects # in addition to human faces. Therefore, if you are interested in making # your own object detectors then read the train_object_detector.py example # program. # # # COMPILING/INSTALLING THE DLIB PYTHON INTERFACE # You can install dlib using the command: # pip install dlib # # Alternatively, if you want to compile dlib yourself then go into the dlib # root folder and run: # python setup.py install # or # python setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS # if you have a CPU that supports AVX instructions, since this makes some # things run faster. # # Compiling dlib should work on any operating system so long as you have # CMake and boost-python installed. On Ubuntu, this can be done easily by # running the command: # sudo apt-get install libboost-python-dev cmake # # Also note that this example requires scikit-image which can be installed # via the command: # pip install scikit-image # Or downloaded from http://scikit-image.org/download.html. import sys import dlib from skimage import io detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector() win = dlib.image_window() for f in sys.argv[1:]: print("Processing file: {}".format(f)) img = io.imread(f) # The 1 in the second argument indicates that we should upsample the image # 1 time. This will make everything bigger and allow us to detect more # faces. dets = detector(img, 1) print("Number of faces detected: {}".format(len(dets))) for i, d in enumerate(dets): print("Detection {}: Left: {} Top: {} Right: {} Bottom: {}".format( i, d.left(), d.top(), d.right(), d.bottom())) win.clear_overlay() win.set_image(img) win.add_overlay(dets) dlib.hit_enter_to_continue() # Finally, if you really want to you can ask the detector to tell you the score # for each detection. The score is bigger for more confident detections. # Also, the idx tells you which of the face sub-detectors matched. This can be # used to broadly identify faces in different orientations. if (len(sys.argv[1:]) > 0): img = io.imread(sys.argv[1]) dets, scores, idx = detector.run(img, 1) for i, d in enumerate(dets): print("Detection {}, score: {}, face_type:{}".format( d, scores[i], idx[i]))
